THE GROVER ADVANTAGE
BENEFITS AND COSTS OF PURCHASING USED BOATS
Selecting the right boat for you is the mission of this brokerage. Most of you should select from the used market to gain the most value. New boats command a high premium in price, availability, and uncertainty. Our guidance through the abundant marketplace will reveal the right boat at the right price in a complete and convenient experience.
Our decades of experience in this business have been focused on the service of powerboats. We know the most about the complexities of the various systems and issues you face as a boater. This knowledge helps us best match your expectation to the right boat. Whether you are balancing fishing interests with family comforts or seeking the optimum canyon machine, we are your best resource.
The vast assortment and supply of used boats provides the highest value to you. We will lead you through the established designs. We measure factors from a use and service perspective, not a showroom sales position. Beyond layout and options, you will be presented with material composition, hull design, access points, and true performance results. Your same dollars will afford a bigger and better used boat than a new boat.
The truth is that all boats require skilled maintenance and repair. You must continue spending after your new or used purchase. Beyond spending for fuel and refreshments are oil changes, exhaust updates, propeller tuning, water pumps, tune-ups, canvas and upholstery replacement, cleaning and other services. The new boat depreciates immediately from 25% to 45% and suffers the greatest loss during the first two years of ownership. Avoid the massive depreciation and ‘smoke & mirror’ financing inherent to new boats.
We live with our customers and are proud to enjoy generations of business. Our candor is always the truth. You will ultimately be most satisfied learning the truth about your boat. We always deliver the best service and complete integrity so that we all sleep with a clear head and strong conscience.
